The onsite manager is a life saver. he has gone above and beyond for me. He has helped me with several moves during very stressful times. I worked for a book company so was frequently working out of my storage units, sometimes alone during very late hours and I never felt unsafe. I have rarely if ever even seen a bug or spider in the entire facility, which is near impossible! I just can't say enough about the Lake Forest facility's service and its all because of him. I havent met anyone else at Bobs that works to this caliber. He is truly dedicated.

The onsite manager, Jeff, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Use of the truck to move into the space was an additional factor in my decision to rent a space from Uncle Bob's.

I think the property and manager, Jeff, are top notch. It has not been as personal and at ease as it was before Uncle Bob acquired the property. There is an obvious "do things by the book" feeling in the other staff and frankly, this is storage. A people business, not computer assembly.

The olny problem with your service is that you guys are so good that you are pretty much sold out at my location. Hence, I can't move into to a larger unit.

The only reason I didn't give highest scores on satisfaction was the price and how it increased so much so fast after I rented. The price is actually what prompted me to finish up my mother's estate and get the items out of storage.

The manager (Jeff I believe) was a genuinely nice person and help me with my storage needs. I wasn't sure if I needed a larger unit and he reassured me that if I needed a larger unit he would be able to accommodate me and help me out with the logistics. Truly a great experience with a great person running the show at Lake Forest!!
